15 Notes to the financial statements 1 General information Country of incorporation Τhe Company is incorporated and domiciled in Cyprus as a private limited liability company in accordance with the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113.On 29 March 2010 the shares of the company were introduced to the Emerging Company's Market 'ECM' of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. Its registered office is at Shacolas Building, Old Nicosia - Limassol road, Athalassa, Nicosia, Cyprus. Principal activities The principal activity of the Company is the design and development of land for the creation of high quality tourist complexes with a mupltible use and global impact which will include golf courses, hotel, residential units and other related developments. Similar activity of the company is agriculture plantations. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these financial statements unless otherwise stated. Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU), and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap As of the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, all International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are effective as of 1 January 2011 have been adopted by the EU through the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission, with the exception of certain provisions of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement relating to portfolio hedge accounting. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of land and buildings and investment property. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4. (14)

16 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Adoption of new and revised IFRSs During the current year the Company adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company. At the date of approval of these financial statements the following financial reporting standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board but were not yet effective: (i) Amendments (ii) Adopted by the European Union Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures on derecognition of financial instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). Not adopted by the European Union New standards Amendments IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (and subsequent amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015).

(15)

17 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Adoption of new and revised IFRSs (continued) New IFRICs Amendment to IAS 1 Financial Statements Presentation on Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012). Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).

IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of these financial reporting standards in future periods will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Company's activities, net of value added taxes, returns and discounts. The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities as described below. The Company bases its estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Revenues earned by the Company are recognised on the following bases: (i) (ii) Sales of goods Sales of goods are recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the customer, which is usually when the Company has sold or delivered goods to the customer, the customer has accepted the goods and collectibility of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Interest income Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. (16)

18 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Employee benefits The Company and the employees contribute to the Government Social Insurance Fund based on employees salaries. In addition, the Company operates a defined contribution scheme the assets of which are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. The scheme is funded by payments from employees and by the Company. The Company's contributions are expensed as incurred and are included in staff costs. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Foreign currency translation (i) (ii) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ( the functional currency ). The financial statements are presented in Euro ( ), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country in which the Company operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. If applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, it establishes provision where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. (17)

19 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Current and deferred income tax (continued) Deferred income tax is recognised using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the Company where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings comprising mainly golf courses under construction and other construction activities are shown at fair value, based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation. Accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Revaluations are carried out with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount at the balance sheet date does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised in other comprehensive income and shown as other reserves in shareholders equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against other reserves directly in equity, all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset s original cost is transferred from other reserves to retained earnings. (18)

20 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Property, plant and equipment (continued) Buildings under construction that are not ready for their intended use are not depreciated. Depreciation on other property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. The annual depreciation rates are as follows: Plantations 10 Furniture, fittings and equipment 15 Motor vehicles 20 Computer Hardware 33 Machinery 20 Tools 15 % The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is charged to the profit or loss of the year in which they were incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised in other gains/(losses) net in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in other reserves are transferred to retained earnings. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, being an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset, when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the Company and the costs can be measured reliably. Investment property Investment property, principally comprising land, is held for capital appreciation and is not occupied by the Company. Investment property is carried at fair value, representng open market value determined annually by the Company's management after taking into consideration all relevant available information, including valuations of independent valuers, market conditions and other factors. (19)

21 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Loans and receivables (i) Classification The Company classifies its financial assets in the category of loans and receivables. Management determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and for which there is no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non current assets. The Company's loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. Recognition and measurement Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date which is the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities S.P.E) over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The Company carries the investments in subsidiaries at cost less any impairment in its separate financial statements. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. Inventories consist of the cost of land and work in progress in connection with the construction of residential units and include raw materials, direct labour and other direct costs and expenses associated with construction work including borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less applicable variable selling expenses. (20)

22 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, in which case they are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extend there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment (for liquidity services) and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds, including interest on borrowings, amortisation of discounts or premium relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, finance lease charges and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, being an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset, when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the Company and the costs can be measured reliably. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. (21)

23 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Trade payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. In the balance sheet bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 3 Financial risk management (i) Financial risk factors The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including cash flow interest rate risk) and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The treasury department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Company's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk. Market risk Cash flow interest rate risk As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. At 31 December 2011, if interest rates on Euro-denominated borrowings had been 0,25% (2010: 0,25%) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the capitalised interest would have been (2010: ) lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest on floating rate borrowings.

24 3 Financial risk management (continued) (i) Financial risk factors (continued) Market risk (continued) Cash flow interest rate risk (continued) The Company's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly. Liquidity risk The table below analyses the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows except for the amounts of trade and other payables that are disclosed at their book value. Less than 1 year Between 1 and 2 years Between 2 to 5 years Over 5 years At 31 December 2010 Borrowings Trade and other payables Capital commitments At 31 December 2011 Borrowings Trade and other payables Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The management maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity reserve (comprises undrawn borrowing facility (Note 21) and cash and cash equivalents (Note 19)) on the basis of expected cash flow. (ii) Capital risk management The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. (23)

25 3 Financial risk management (continued) (ii) Capital risk management (continued) The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt. The gearing ratios at 31 December 2011 and 2010 were as follows: Total borrowings (Note 21) Less: cash and cash equivalents (Note 19) (20.112) (12.234) Net debt Total equity Total capital as defined by management Gearing ratio 57% 52% The increase in the gearing ratio during 2011 resulted primarily from borrowings taken during the year for financing the needs of the Company for the acquisition of land and the construction activities. The gearing ratio based on the current value of inventories (Note 17) is significantly lower. (iii) Fair value estimation The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to for similar financial instruments. 4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (24)

26 4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued) Fair value of investment property The fair value of investment property is determined using valuation techniques. If the calculated value of investment properties was higher / lower by 5% then the results would be higher / lower by Revenue Net Income from plantations Other income / (expenses) Interest income: Bank balances Other income (358) Profit on sale of property plant and equipment (Note 14) Expenses by nature Depreciation (Note 14) Repairs and maintenance Insurance Auditors' remuneration Staff costs (Note 8) Advertising and promotion Transportation expenses Other expenses Services rendered Motor car expenses Municipality taxes Stamp duty Legal fees Stock Exchange expenses Directors fees Auditors' remuneration for taxation services Petrol and fuel Total cost of administrative expenses (25)
